Two job scams during my job search

Currently I'm looking for work, and I believe I fell for two job scams. One was a trucking job that said they were working with Swift. They sent me a link, but I didn't fill that one out; instead I went to the Driver Pulse app and filled one out for Swift. But my dumbass gave them the confirmation number at the end of the application. The application had my SSN and driver's license number. The second one was for an Amazon delivery job. After interviewing, they gave me information for an account they created on the Amazon Flex app. I've used the Flex app before for a different Amazon DSP job. I put my SSN and driver's license in. When trying to get my drug test started, I couldn't reach them by email (which I noticed was a Gmail account), and the HR number is disconnected. I also found reviews calling the company fraudulent. Local police say they can't do anything.
